Crochet Coasters

I was searching for new ideas today and came across a crochet pot holder and adapted the design to make these coasters.

These are very simple to make and are probably more decorative than practical. They might work well if made to match a mug cozy, some of which I plan to try to make soon.

Stuffed Hearts

When I was on the theme of hearts I decided to do some bigger ones that I could stuff with the aim of hanging them up.

I thought these would look nice in a variety of different colours and would make cute valentines gifts.

Mini Hearts

I saw a great pattern online today for mini hearts. They didn't come out quite how I wanted, but still seem quite cute.

I got carried away and made quite a few, but now don't really know what to do with them so any suggestions would be welcome.

More Bookmarks

I want to try my luck at selling some of my items at an indoor car boot sale on Sunday 17th Feb, so I am working hard at building up a stock of smallish cheapish items to sell there.  Yesterday I started by making a set of natural coloured bookmarks.

These are made with a ball of wool of various colours and the result is multicoloured bookmarks but with no having to change the wool while making them.

Keyrings

I have been  taking a rest from crochet today and working on some designs for keyrings instead. Firstly some ones on a valentines theme:

Then I made some with a 'peace theme'. A rainbow style background with a peace symbol charm on it.

If these are popular I will try some different designs as well.

Valentines Bookmarks

Today I have designed a Valentines Day Bookmark. 

These have a heart at the top and then a chain of crochet with tassles at the bottom. Will try them in a few different colours and see if I can sell any on ebay before valentines day.

Bookmarks

Another crochet idea is making bookmarks.

These are really quick to make and are great for selling at school fairs or to children as they can be sold cheap. I'm hoping my daughter will sell some at school for me.
